Garrison Forest School 2010
Summer Professional Development MoodleMoot “A meeting whose theme is Moodle and its uses in the field of education.”
Horizontal Rule
June 23rd, 24th, and 25th & August 18th, 19th, and 20th
9:00 – 2:00 each day Join returning colleagues and new faculty as we dig into Moodle. Participants will learn to use Moodle tools to leverage asynchronous and synchronous learning opportunities. We’ll explore web 2.0 applications that help build team and collaboration skills for the 21st Century. Finally, we’ll build a model to document our curriculum.
Here is the newly revised workshop agenda - moodle wksp 2. We need to workout the afternoon sessions and identify tech leaders.

What is Online Learning?
0% Traditional
1-29% Web Facilitated (describe)
30-79% Blended Learning (describe)
80%+ Online Learning
Why Blended Learning = Better learning for students
Traditional: Introduce new concepts in class --> Homework for review --> Review homework, review / reteach missed concepts --> repeat
Blended: Outside of class students review a variety of resources (texts, video, screencasts, simulations, discussions, etc) (formative assessments to check comprehension) --> class time for work, discussion, debate, expand learning, further reinforcement --> resources remain available for student review --> Encourage students to form student groups (social learning), learning to "be" part of the academic culture (be a mathematician, be a musician, be a writer)
Assessments
Formative (why and when)
Summative & Demonstrations of Learning
Step 1: Develop a pool of assessment replacements (What do professionals use?)
Documentaries, films,podcasts, online courses, CAD/SketchUp Designs, Video podcasts, web sites, screenplays, email exchanges, quarterly reports,
digital music compositions, video conferences, webcasts from lives sites, simulations, online journals/blogs
Step 2: Identify existing types of software, hardware, Internet capabilities to use for assessments
Moodle, Webcams, computers, wikis, email, digital cameras, Twitter, iPods/iTouch, blogs, flip cameras, Web design tools, Web 20. tools
Step 3: Replace a dated assessment with a new one
Examples: essay --> screenplay; charts --> webquests
Step 4: Share the new assessment with colleagues and students, get feedback and revise as needed
Step 5: Plan for skill and assessment "upgrades" throughout the school year, develop a culture of rethinking assessment
The skills we need to teach remain the same from Plato's time to today. "What has changed is the knowledge base, which has grown, and the tools for communicating and sharing what students are learning as they cultivate these skills in a new world. These tools have given students new forms to convey their ideas, changing the immediacy and range of input that is possible. (Curriculum 21: Upgrading the Curriculum pg 27).
